Mumbai, Feb. 17 -- The domestic benchmark indices closed with marginal gains on Monday, halting an eight-day consecutive decline. The Nifty index recovered from intraday losses to settle above the 22,950 level. Despite the recovery, gains were constrained by several factors including global trade uncertainty, weak corporate earnings and persistent FII outflows. Healthcare, pharma and consumer durables stocks were in demand. On the other hand, media, IT and auto shares were weak.

The S&P BSE Sensex, advanced 57.65 points or 0.08% to 75,996.86. The Nifty 50 index added 30.25 points or 0.13% to 22,959.50. In eight consecutive trading sessions, the Sensex and Nifty lost 3.29% and 3.28%, respectively.
